It's not so much how the religion effects the world but how the individual practioners choose to use the faith that they follow. All religions have as a basis the idea of love and compassion for fellow beings. It is when an individual practioner uses a religious basis to commit acts of evil that we run into trouble. It is through a misinterpretation of the tenets of our individual faiths and an intentional misuse of those tenets that we see the evil act of people such as Bin Laden or Jim Jones of Jonestown. However, it is also through those same faiths and tenets that we can come together to end the suffering we see. If we focus on those areas in which we agree instead of whose God is the "True God" we can come together as brothers and sisters and bring an end to the problems which we ourselves have caused.

Christianity, Islam, Judaism all spread fear, hate, and ignorance...Buddhism, Taoism, Confuciousism do not, they spread knowledge, unity, and tolerance.
